Abstract excerpt
pRB, the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene product, regulates the cell cycle at G1/S transition negatively. Many cell cycle regulators modulate pRB function through its phosphorylation status. G1 cyclins (cyclin D, E)/cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk2, 4) inactivates pRB through its phosphorylation, while p21 (WAF1) and p16 inhibit cdks. In several kinds of cancer, Rb gene alteration or functional inactivation of...
